Lips is about to leave for work. Zoot asks them if they've forgotten anything, and Lips gives them a kiss. Zoot turns red and opens his hand to reveal Lips' keys/wallet/etc., saying "I meant this, but thanks".

A jacket slips on Lips' shoulders as he stands at the doorway. On the ground near his feet was a black trumpet case with a 'Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem' sticker on the side. It was one of the days he was needed at the school to lecture again. The time was 8:30 in the morning, the usual hour when he would leave. His lover was currently in the kitchen having his morning cup of coffee.

"Saxobeat! I'm leaving, I'll be back in a few!" Lips calls out. He grabs his instrument case and the doorknob, starting to turn it.

"Ahem," a tired voice speaks up. Lips stops and looks back to see Zoot standing a few feet away. His hair and sleep clothes were disheveled, showing the aftermath of a restless night. His shades were hanging from the neck of his shirt, showing his usual tired eyes.

"What is it?"

"Aren't you forgetting something?" He asks. Lips looks at the ground, his eyelids moving inward in deep thought. He then puts his instrument case down, walks over to Zoot, and gives him a long, loving kiss. One of his hands reaches up to cup Zoot's cheek as the blue-haired musician tenses up. He moves away and picks up his instrument case again. Zoot is left standing with a red face. Tucked in his arm is a binder that says Notes in black letters on the cover.

"Uh, I-I meant this... but that works too. Thanks," he says, holding out the binder. Now it was Lips' turn to flush red. He takes the binder and kisses Zoot's nose.

"Well, you're welcome for both," he whispers. Now with his notes and instrument case in hand, Lips opens the front door and leaves for his lectures. Floyd suddenly sneaks up behind Zoot and scares him.

"I saw what he did. Not the smartest of the bunch, is he?" He asks teasingly. The saxophone player hits him on the shoulder and goes back to his unfinished cup of coffee in the kitchen, slipping on his shades in the process.
